DXXIV (F XIII, 79)

TO AULUS ALLIENUS (IN SICILY)
ROME

I THINK, in the first place, that you know the
value I have for C. Avianius Flaccus, and, in the
next place, I have heard from himself—a
most excellent and grateful man-with what liberality he has been treated by you.
His sons-quite worthy of their father and close
friends of my own, occupying a special place in my
affection—I recommend to you with an
earnestness beyond which I cannot go in
recommending anyone. Gaius Avianius is in Sicily;
Marcus is with us. I beg you to promote the social
standing of the former, who is with you, and to
defend the property of both. You cannot oblige me
more by anything you do in your province. I beg
you warmly and repeatedly to do so.
